Statistics show that about twenty
thousand people are annually de-
stroyed in India by animals, and of
these, nineteen out of twenty are said
to be bitten by snakes. The number
of human victims tends to increase,
in spite of the fact that the number of
wild beasts and snakes destroyed has
doubled in the last ten years, and
that the government reward paid for
their determination has risen proper
tionately. Next to venomous rep
tiles, tigers claim most victims. Ten
years ago, wolves, mostly in the
northwest provinces and Oudh, killed
five times as many people as Of late
years; but the determination of
wolves seems to be going on rapidly.
LeopardS are the alleged cause of
death to about two hundred human
beings annually. Apart from the loss
of human life, the returns show IAN
annual destruction of fifty thousand
head of cattle.

The Use. Of Pretty Things.
The

The Housekeeper.
No man, or woman, with artistic
taste, will fail to adorn his home with
pictures they are a cheap luxury, a
positive means of education, and
many a boy has caught the inspira-
ton of a noble life from the study of
some scene represented in a simple
picture hanging on the wall. Our
homes may be rendered beautiful and
attractive to all, and become endear-
ed to our children by being adorned
with bright and pretty pictures. And
that parent who has the means and
who does not purchase them, not
only does a great wrong to his own
inner nature, but he deprives his
children of one of the happiest and
most innocent pleasures in what
should be a bright life. Hang pic
lures upon the walls of your living
rooms. They need not be costly oil
paintings, or set in elaborate gilt
frames; they will be priced just as
dearly ifthey are less expensive, if
they but convey.to their minds noble
examples and pleasant recollections.
There are so many ways of making
inexpensive frames that no one need
hesitate about the costof pictures.
Since a little taste and ingenuity
will convert a very ordinaryroom in
to a perfect bower, l am glad to
throw out a hint on this subject for
the benefit of those who are admirers
of beautiful things. The following
description of floral ornament is q
pleasing one: Take a goblet with
thefoot and stem broken or cut off,so
that the bowl will be perfect; take
coarse red flannel, (the redder the
better stitch it neatly around the
bowl or goblet so as to cover it com.
pletely On the outside; dip it in the
water so as to wet it thoroughly then
roll it in flax seed the seed will stick
on and in the flannel; be sure that
the seed is distributed evenly, then
stand it on its mouth or large end in
a saucer or small plate; put water in
the plate or saucer and renew or add
to it as it absorbs. Never let the YES
sci get dry nor suffer it to chill Oh
freeze. 1t can and will grow in any
part of the room, and will be a deeI
green with red ground. A large anG
very porous sponge, soaked in water
and then rolled in wheat, oats, gras!
or bird seed, and kept moistened, will
grow luxuriantly, and makes a beau

The Sweet Girl Graduate.

Catherine Bole in New Orleans ~Picayune.
Just at this time of the year a girl
whom / know very well is about to
begin her voyage of life, as she terms
it, in her valedictory. She is the
sweet girl graduate. She has sent off
to all the John Thomases of her ac-
quaintance scented little notes of in
vitation to attend the commencement
exercises at the institute. Sheis very
pretty, if somewhat crude, and wears
banged hair and many white ribbons.
Her gown is white, with a sweeping
trail. 1t is to her like a foretaste of
bridal finery. She is in a futter, and
Supposes that this is the great trying
ordeal of her life. She carries her
diploma as a young queen might car
ny her wand of Office. Her valedic-
tory is tied with blue ribbons, and
there is a good deal of sentiment and
poetry in it. She talks about the
stormy e of life about hope, the
light that was never on land or sea,
and she is smothered in flowers when
she makes her pretty bow of retire
ment. She has already gone through
the inevitable ceremonial of VOW TAX
ing with her school chum. They are
to write to each other every other
day. They are to keep each a diary,
and exchange them at the end of the
year. They are to have no secrets
from each other. They swear never
to marry, but after a time, when they
have been out in society long enough
they will meet somewhere, rent a
house or a flat together, and live in.
S~eparable the rest of their mortal lives

ARCHBISHOP CORRiGAN
Speaks Ofthe Land Question at Canoni.
cal Visitation.

NEW YORK, May 16.
Archbishop Corrigan made his canonical
visitation to the church of the Sacred Heart
Monday morning. The archbishop spoke on
the popular errors which he said were widely
prevalent at the present time. The first of
these was the idea that private ownership of
land was unj just. This idea the archbishop
characterized as fallacy against both phil
osophy and common sense, and as against the
teachings of the Catholic church
Those who claimed that the land, like sun.
shine AID air. was a free gift ot G ID and
equally the property of all, overlooked the
great difference that the sun and air cannot
become private property. as can land. He
declared that every man had a right TO ac-
quire by honest means as much property as
he could and cited the Indians as an exam
pie of the disastrous results Of the free land
policy.
He also said that the idea was in direct op-
position to the decree of the Pope, and that
those who favored il knew that they were i'm
pinging on the ordinances of God.
The second error which the Archbishop
wished to combat, was that the Pope had the
right to command aud to be obeyed only in
matters of faith and morals, and when speak
ing as infslllbe.
This idea had been decreed false by the
Vatican Council, who had ordered that IT any
one shC uld say that the Pope had right to
command in matters of faith and morals, but
not in discipline, let hlm be an athena. The
Pope however does not interfere in matters
of politics, unless the government interferes
in matters of conscience, and has warned all
bishops and archbishops that they must be
obedient to the government under which they
live,

tempt to kill Frost, Broomfeld had emptied
the contents of one chamber of a self acting
Smith & Wesson revolver into his ow n head

death. Papers left at his residence show
that his own death was premeditated and
that he meant that Frost should also die.
